Dead in the Water

Strange as it seems Danny I too saw this strange effect in the skies over my house and was asked the same question by Lesley - "Whats that called". I think it is called a "Sun Dog" or a "Parhelia" and is formed by small clouds diffracting the sunlight. Take alook at :- http://www.atoptics.co.uk/rainbows/notabow.htm for a full description.

By the way the landscape is another cracking image, I really like the composition and the silhouette works very well.

Nice and sharp with plenty of detail, I really like the diagonal composition.

Well worth the drive to the sea. I love the colours and movement in the water and the delicate colours in the sky.
I agree with the previous comment about the burnt out area in the sky - but I'm not as perfect as this photo, so it doesn't spolit the overall effect for me.

A very simple composition that works very well because of its tight cropping.

Head First ...

Indulge away, I'm enjoying the photos. I also like the explanation surrounding them as they really help set the scene. Everything is pin sharp which is not easy with all of the dust, I would have liked a slightly slower shutter speed to blut the wheels a bit as it looks slightly frozen. However looking at the lighting I'm not sure if this would have been possible as the DoF is great.

Excellent technique everything is pin sharp where it should be. I like the inclusion of the Farm name plaque as this places it firmly in the IOM.

I've just joined Ephotozine and I am still finding my way around. However I have seen several of your images in the gallery and always been impressed. Now that I've seen the porfolio I'm even more impressed.
Great images of all animal kind.

An excellent group of phtotographs, not a poor one amongst them. I have enjoyed looking at them again as much as the first time I saw them.
Yet another person I am in awe of, and a new comparison for me to aim at.
